Twitter Should Probably Delete This 'Kill Zimmerman' Account (UPDATE)

A Twitter account with the handle "@KillZimmerman" has been active on the social media
site for five days now, gaining attention and sparking tension as
its owner has fired off more than 450 tweets since its
inception.

Twitchy, conservative pundit Michelle Malkin's social media
website, is where this was first noticed. It remains active in
its fifth day on Twitter, and cries for its removal have started
to gain steam. The account's profile image is of Zimmerman's head
in a target.

The circumstances surrounding the shooting death of Trayvon
Martin by George Zimmerman have ignited impassioned displays by
organizers, celebrities and ordinary citizens. Earlier this week,
the director Spike Lee tweeted out what he thought was
Zimmerman's address. It turned out to be the wrong address, and
Lee eventually apologized to an elderly Florida couple. The
New Black Panther Party has also called for a "bounty" for
Zimmerman's capture.

An email to Twitter support has so far gone unreturned. We'll
update if more information becomes available on that front.

Here are some of the vile tweets from the account and some calls
for its removal:

They act like they wanna charge me but I'm not the one who shot
an unarmed kid #zimmerman is
so judge him

UPDATE (2:45 p.m. ET): The Drudge
Report has made the @KillZimmerman Twitter account its lead
story and linked to the account. The account now has 200
followers, up from no more than 130 early in the day.
